To Spiritual Love

'I think the chief reason why the unseen God willed

to appear in the flesh and mix with men

was that He might draw to Himself the love of those

who were not able to love except in a carnal manner.

And so: He could lead them on to spiritual love.'

The Gift of Bread

'The little town of Bethlehem is taken from two Hebrew words 
which mean 'House of Bread.'

He Who called Himself 
'the living Bread descended from Heaven' 

was born in the 'House of Bread' 
and was laid in the place of food, the manger.'
